This project investigates how infants learn their first language by testing the 'statistical learning hypothesis'. It explores three mechanisms that may enhance their learning efficiency, using a computational model to simulate infant language acquisition.
How do infants learn their first language(s)?
The popular yet controversial 'statistical learning hypothesis' posits that they learn by gradually collecting statistics over their language inputs.
This is strickingly similar to how current AI's Large Language Models (LLMs) learn and shows that simple statistical mechanisms may be sufficient to attain adult-like language competence.
But does it?
Estimates of language inputs to children show that by age 3, they have received 2 or 3 orders of magnit…
